Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (PRA)

The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (PRA) and its members developed and defined the practice of psychosocial and psychiatric rehabilitation, establishing these services as integral to community-based treatment and leading the recovery movement. With nearly 1,400 members, this association seeks to advance the availability and practice of psychiatric rehabiliation so that all individuals with a serious mental illness have access to the supports they need to recover.

Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.
